Business idea: agency for filling out documents

How to choose an idea for an office business

When choosing a business idea, you need to consider many factors. They depend on the volume of initial capital, attracted investments and all kinds of costs. If an entrepreneur already has an office to conduct business, then costs are significantly reduced.

To properly open an office business, you first need to evaluate and analyze the main factors that influence the successful operation and development of the project:

Let's consider step by step how to bring this idea to life and draw up a general business plan

1. If an entrepreneur does not have experience in the tourism industry, then it would be useful to complete courses for tourism managers before opening a travel agency. They last from two weeks to a month and cost little. The courses will tell you a general idea of ​​tourism, how and what works in this field of activity, the subtleties and features of the tourism market.
2. To open any type of activity, you first need to register. Registration of a travel agency is most often carried out as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) or Individual Entrepreneur (IP). Registration is completed with the Tax Authority.
3. Find a suitable premises for the travel company and rent it. An agency does not need a very large premises. For two managers to work, 15-20 sq.m. will be enough. m. Office location is already half the success. It should be located in a public area, not far from the metro station. The ideal option is to rent a room in a shopping center.
4. The next steps will be to purchase everything necessary to open an office and arrange it. When purchasing everything you need, you need to consider how many people will work in the office. It is important not to miss anything here. You definitely need to remember to purchase a sign, otherwise potential clients may simply not find the office, and clients from the street will never come in because they will not know about the existence of a travel agency.
5. After equipping the office, you need to take care of connecting the telephone line and the Internet, since they are one of the main tools in the work of a travel company.
6. Purchase and registration of a cash register with the tax authority.
7. You should think about advertising. For a successful start of a travel agency, advertising is very important. This could be distributing leaflets with information about the agency near the metro station, advertising in the media or joint advertising with tourist operators, etc. There are a lot of advertising options.
8. This travel agency may have its own characteristics. You can open the sale of wedding tours or start organizing some non-standard trips, etc.

Office rental as a business

What business to open when you already have an office? One of the most popular solutions is to rent out the premises. Such activities do not involve any financial risks for the owner, and most importantly, do not require large investments (except for repairs).

The main problem with renting out an office is the low income and long payback period. The positive side is stable profits from a business that does not require management or unnecessary investments.

For the wise and cautious: rent

Let’s say the owner prefers to receive passive income (without personal participation in the office business), wants to minimize risks and is not ready to invest additional funds in the premises. Then the most suitable way is to rent out an office.

The profitability of the project in this case will be determined by many factors:

• geographical region;
• location of the premises within the populated area;
• physical characteristics of the office (area, availability of high-quality repairs, office furniture);
• surrounding infrastructure (the presence of inexpensive and “tasty” cafes, shops, transport parking nearby);
• proximity to transport interchanges;
• number of direct competitors;
• rental period.

According to ROSRIELT, in July 2020, prices for renting office space in Russian cities ranged from RUB 2,993. per sq. m. per year in Orenburg up to 12,870 rubles. per sq. m. per year in Vladimir (excluding prices in the capital). In Moscow, the requested rental rates for office space were up to 25,500 rubles. per sq. m. per year.

We must admit: the average office owner will hardly be able to get rich this way. But there are minimal risks and costs. In principle, you can rent out anything and in any condition: everything here is determined by the price of the issue. With the consent of both parties, even repairs to the premises can be carried out at the expense of the tenant. It is categorically not recommended to save only on the services of a lawyer in drawing up a competent lease agreement: property-monetary relations are a thing potentially fraught with conflicts and proceedings, so it is better to discuss really important and controversial issues right away.

A professionally drawn up contract will help minimize risks when leasing an office

However, nothing will work if:

• healthy ambitions require you to actively participate in business;
• the presence of commercial risks seems a fair price to pay for the opportunity to obtain higher income;
• the thought of additional cash spending does not cause rejection.

In this case, renting as a business is not for you: it makes sense to consider other options.

Lie detector - polygraph services

An office business idea whose services are just beginning to develop on the market. Due to increasing public awareness, this type of business activity has gained good demand in recent times.

A special nuance of this business is that when testing, the polygraph gives no information that is familiar to us. In order to provide such services, you will need to hire several polygraph examiners who can analyze the information received and give an expert opinion. Most of the startup costs will go towards purchasing equipment.

Recruiting or staffing agency

When deciding what to open in the office, you can settle on the idea of ​​an employment agency. Such offices usually work in two directions at once (for the employer and the job seeker), providing the labor market with new personnel.

In order to generate income from this activity, you need to hire a group of specialists in the office to search and select employees for enterprises. Business costs are limited to premises with furniture, equipment and hiring employees. But a very important point to consider is the creation of an employment database for employers and job seekers.

Room

A contract engineering company is capable of constructing an office building of any complexity and capacity in 6 months.

A key factor in business success is location. The optimal location for a business center is the administrative part in the city center.

If the city has developed transport infrastructure, you can choose a location outside the city.

This draft business plan provides for the construction of an office center in proximity to the business part of the city with a population of up to 500-700 thousand people.

The total area of ​​the project premises is 3500 m², including the adjacent territory - 500 m². The use of the site will be carried out under a long-term lease for a period of 49 years.

Opening a business with start-up capital

If you have an office, what kind of business should you open? And how to do this? Let's look at these questions step by step using the example of an event organizing agency:

1. For the first time, choose one narrow direction (corporate parties, children's parties, weddings, etc.);
2. Register the enterprise with government agencies;
3. Carrying out repair work in office premises;
4. Hiring company employees;
5. Carrying out marketing and advertising of services;
6. Financial plan:

• $3000 is the company’s starting capital;
• $1000 is the approximate monthly profit of the enterprise;
• 3-4 months is the expected payback period for the project.

To summarize, we can say that opening your own business in an office is not such a difficult task. For success, it is important to choose the right niche and adhere to the basic principles of office business on the path to the success of the company and the profitability of the business.

You also definitely saw the buildings of this business center and the temple in the gap between them in the photo shoots. Here you get the feeling that you are in an office district somewhere in the west. But there are also details that you won’t find there: the proximity to an Old Believer church and seven human figures made of steel between the buildings. They were made rather carelessly and as if in haste in order to convey the spirit of the inhabitants of the metropolis. Outwardly different, but at the same time subject to the same urban rules. The ground floors are occupied by coffee shops, coffee shops and more coffee shops, restaurants, a wine bar and a mini-market. “White Square” is considered one of the most expensive business centers in Moscow, so no one is surprised that there are two here. On its territory there are places for meetings, walks and gatherings near the fountain, it is convenient to get here by car and public transport, and it just looks stylish.
